Six priests suspended after sex charges
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Two more lawsuits were filed yesterday accusing the Archdiocese of Boston of failing to stop its priests from molesting altar boys even when it knew what was happening.
The new allegations came as the archdiocese,complying with its recent promise to report past accusations, revealed the names of six more priests who have been suspended amid charges they molested children, and forwarded more names of accused
priests to prosecutors
A lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court accused Cardinal Bernard Law personally of failing to protect a 13-year-old boy from abuse by now defrocked priest John Geoghan in 1989. In the suit, Christopher Fulchino, now 25 and living in Maine, alleges Law knew or should have known about the abuse and instead relied on "a veil of silence."
Geoghan, recently convicted of sexual abuse, faces 80 civil lawsuits and two more criminal cases. In all, 130 people claim he abused them.
Last month, Law apologized for moving Geoghan to a church in Weston, even though he knew of allegations of abuse against the priest.
Meanwhile, a lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court on behalf of four former altar boys accuses the archdiocese of failing to protect them and accuses the Rev. Paul Desilets of molesting them when he was assigned to Assumption Parish in Bellingham the mid-1980s.
Earlier this week, two other former altar boys filed a lawsuit against Desilets, 78, with similar allegations.

STATE State budget cuts may force courts to close for three days
TOPEKA — All Kansas courts will have to close for three days between now and July unless the state provides more money quickly, Supreme Court Chief Justice Kay McFarland said yesterday.
In testimony before House and Senate budget writers, McFarland said the judiciary needed a supplemental appropriation of $600,000 in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, and an additional $3.6 million for next year.
McFarland said salaries consume 97 percent of the court system's budget, so personnel costs were the only place to save money
Gov. Bill Graves has proposed both appropriations, but the $3.6 million for fiscal 2003 hinges on passage of his $228 million tax increase plan.
nel costs were the only Already, vacancies at the district and appellate courts are going unfilled for at least 90 days, making extra — and unpaid — days off for employees the only other way to cut expenses, she said.
The judiciary's current budget is almost $79 million, about $554,000 more than in the previous fiscal year. But that increase did not cover raises granted to employees by the Legislature, or other costs such as health insurance.
